Yeah, the Toto C2 or whatever micro revision it is this year. Same toilet lid, about $330 ish dollars. Lifechanging for men and women, especially once you realize it has an oscillating mode for washing.

I don't use TP at all anymore, it's just there for guests who feel uncomfortable.

I feel way better about Walz. Strong debate performance even if it isn't his forte. The ending where Vance got his leg in the beartrap of Jan 6 and could not answer why Mike Pence was not on stage instead of him (because Mike Pence is not a suck up) was shocking to see. Dude did not practice for that question at all, lmfao.

I also chuckled when Vance basically argued to Walz that the Infrastructure act and the inflation reduction act were good things. No shit shirlock, that's why Biden-Harris implemented them. It brought back American jobs and have rekindled diminished, rust belt states with new factories and infrastructure.

Vance came across as kinda whiny and petulant, Walz made strong points and really defined policy specifics.

Next debate, CBS needs to do way more aggressive fact-checking. ABC had way better fact-checking, but it still could have been way better. Vance walked all over CBS with his lying and taking credit for Biden and Obama administration Ws.

Hep C too. Not incurable, but you really don't want to get any BBPs.

Lest readers doubt the value of our endorsement, we ask them to remember 2016, when voter complacency almost put Hillary Clinton in the White House before The Onion stepped in. 

We really dodged a bullet on that one! (/j)

This is obvious to most queer people, but might be counter-intuitive at first. So let me explain.

Any large gathering of people is likely to lead to adults hooking up. This is a fact of life, especially when alcohol is involved.

Having a convenient way to know your status onsite is a great way to allow consenting adults to make informed decisions about their sexual health, especially if they’re not generally promiscuous and aren’t in the habit of getting tested regularly.

This is brilliant, and more places need to copy this. There are massive outbreaks of STDs, and the demographics are changing in a very concerning way for new segments of the population, but particularly women in the UK and women in the US.

Straight men are also very much at risk as schools de-emphasize sex ed, or never taught it well. Regardless of your orientation, you and your date(s) should be getting tested regularly, and wearing protection is always a good idea. If you are doing sexual tourism with multiple people, you can get on a medicine called PrEP that will dramatically reduce your chance of getting HIV as long as you consistently take it. Outside of terrible bloodborne Pathogens like hepatitis C and HIV, there are a number of STDs that can cause organ damage, even if you are man. Many are fully curable, but they must be caught before they start doing organ damage.

This place looks like a wizard boss fight location for a big d&d campaign. Sad it's gone.

Vertical paint/plastic bollards don't work terribly well, but concrete barriers, speed bumps, and elevated crosswalks do. More expensive per kilometer, but significantly safer and also has a calming effect for pedestrian safety, too.

Looks pretty good, though the lack of particle effects is a bit odd. There are no decals from skidding tires either. Perhaps just alpha footage.

War is a terrible thing. Entire generations of teens and men are lost. It's why Putin's war is unbelievably wasteful. There was no reason to fight, he just did it to keep unrest down. People like him are monsters.

You gotta use washcloths or scrubbers on your body! In conjuction with soap, that will help remove dead skin, dirt, sweat, etc.

Towels one week. Bedding and pillow cases every two weeks. Pillows every 3 to 6 months, or if they start to smell kinda musty, whichever comes first. A little bleach helps keeps my bedding and towels super clean.

Ubisoft left steam? Didn't even know it, their games have gotten terrible reviews for so long, and their uplay platform is so shitty, I have skipped them until they fixed their game dev or cancelled uplay, haha.

 

A 12 year old submitter her design and overwhelmingly won the competition. The stickers should be coming out this election, see if you can snag one if you live there!

 

Please vote in the general election this fall! 54 people in the state determined the outcome of the primary!

This is the person who controls all five million acres of public lands and forest fire management.

 

Salivating for mid-block crosswalks, more armored bike lanes, daylit intersections, and more on the west coast, too.

 

RealPage, maker of YieldStar, is almost singlehandedly the ones causing rent to skyrocket across much of the United States.

One of the algorithm’s developers told ProPublica that leasing agents had “too much empathy” compared to computer generated pricing.

You can learn more about them here and why this antitrust case is so important:

I love stories like these: scientists and the NIH working to create a cure for an unprofitable disease, just because it would make the world a better place. And in the interim, making new discoveries that might potentially benefit society at large.

 

Perhaps we shouldn't start deep sea mining yet.

 

I've been fighting it for awhile. Various nutrient levels, light levels, etc. Considering getting a nerite snail, but heard they can be a bit of an escape artist. Any tips?
